ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Friday once again came down heavily on Nawaz Sharif’s government and vowed that no one could stop the “Azadi March” on Aug. 14, Geo News reported.

Addressing a press conference flanked by senior PTI leaders, Khan stressed that his party’s demands would be presented upon reaching Islamabad on Independence Day and none of them will be outside the constitution. “We will not leave Islamabad until our demands are met.”

On Friday, section 144 was imposed in the federal capital and a notification was issued in this regard.

According to the government, section 144 was imposed due to security concerns and prohibits the gathering of five or more individuals, carrying weapons and pillion riding.

The decision to impose section 144 comes ahead of the proposed marches of PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT).

Imran Khan said that the march was not aimed at inviting army instead it was being taken out on a one-point agenda of electoral reforms. He said he would also demand action against those who were involved in rigging during last year’s elections. “I will expose individuals behind election rigging on Monday,” Khan said.

Khan alleged that no cases were resolved by election tribunals and were just disposed off. The PTI chief questioned why was the government now willing to open recounting on four constituencies. “Where were they (government) when we were demanding this since the last 14 months,” he asked.

He condemned the illegal police action against his party workers and warned the government against using such measures.

A large contingent of police was deployed to the area near the Minhajul Qur’an Secretariat and sporadically clashed with PAT workers. According to reports a police bus has been seized by PAT workers.
